Postdoctoral Researcher in Hyper-flexible 3D RF Front-End Components
Join the Tyndall National Institute as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Hyper-flexible 3D RF Front-End Components.
Tyndall National Institute is Ireland’s largest Research and Technology Organisation and a flagship Institute of University College Cork (UCC). The Advanced RF Technologies (ART) Group at Tyndall National Institute specializes in the fundamentals and applications of microwave and millimetre wave RF front-end components for the Next Generation of Wireless Communications.
About the Role
The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research in RF front-end-antenna sub-systems for mmWave and THz communications and Internet-of-Space (IoS). Key research areas include additive manufacturing technologies/ 3D printing for 3D RF systems, tuning techniques and integration concepts for hyperflexible 3D RF systems, and active IC integrated mm wave-THz RF circuits.
Key Responsibilities
* Conduct research on tunable 3D waveguide components, MMIC components, and heterogeneous integration techniques using 3D printing.
* Develop innovative design methodologies and integration strategies for highly miniaturized and reconfigurable RF circuits and components.
* Perform circuit-level and electromagnetic wave analysis and RF characterization of MMICs and 3D waveguide-based RF components.
* Define manufacturing process requirements and design high-performance RF components considering fabrication and material constraints.
* Manage research activities and lead specific projects.
* Contribute to project coordination, including scheduling and reporting.
* Lab management of research infrastructure.
* Prepare presentations and peer-reviewed publications.
* Support the development of research proposals.
* Mentor undergraduate, master's, and PhD students, and contribute to the teaching mission of the research group.
Essential Criteria
* PhD degree in Electronic Engineering with an emphasis on tunable RF filters or 3D metallic waveguide RF passive components or IC-based tunable RF circuits.
* Three years of Post-Doctoral or Industrial research experience in areas relevant to the role.
* Strong publication record in IEEE journals and conferences in areas relevant to the role.
* Good communication, mentoring, and interpersonal skills.
Desirable Criteria
* Experience in design and testing of active RF components.
* Experience in using PDKs for the design of IC components.
* Experience in performing linear and non-linear RF testing using probe station.
* Experience in manufacturing 3D printed RF components.
